Reviews

Going beyond definitions, this book looks at all the defined CI sectors and suggests previously overlooked, yet critical, industries for inclusion in revised definitions. Authored by a leading security specialist, this powerful volume includes more than 200 tables and 100 figures that illustrate key concepts, considers all CI sectors for a 360-degree view, and focuses on Canada and the US equally to provide a useful cross-border security analysis. Dedicated to moving CI security into the 21st century, this book illustrates the danger in basing critical CI policy decisions on the existing legacy frames of reference. It represents one of the first complete departures from policy, planning, and response strategies based on intuition and anecdotal evidence. -MCEER, May 2010 Macaulay captures the crux of CI - its complex interdependencies - but does so in a clear, concise, and compelling way, providing the fundamentals for approaching CI in a manner familiar to security professionals: risk assessment. ... The text is extremely well-written ... -J. Kelly Stewart, Certified Forensic Consultant, writing in Security Management, April 2010
